Bedwell website

I'd like to invite everyone to visit (and hopefully contribute to!) the new website I've set up, "Descendants of Robert Bedwell":

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bedwell/

My ambition is to turn this into an online "book" along the lines of the King and Ericson books, but with the added dynamic factor that it can be constantly updated, corrected, and expanded. Like those books, the "Descendants of Robert Bedwell" website is dedicated to the thousands of descendants of the Robert Bedwell who lived in Virginia Colony around 1660. So far, there are about 5000 of those descendants included in the website.

This is an ongoing project. There is still years of research to do, many corrections, much polishing, etc. But the bare bones is now up and running, so check it out at:

(My father, Robert Henry Bedwell, started this research in earnest in the 1960s, and wound up contributing quite a bit of research to the Ericson book. My mother, Sonja Bedwell, then got the bug and has contributed much additional research. Then, for the past few years, I've taken it up as my own project. Many other people, most of them Bedwell descendants themselves, have contributed much valuable information over the years. Eventually, I hope to create a list on the site of who they all are and memorialize their contributions.)
